They truly are the worst. Please don't bring your loved one here if you love them. They don't have enough nurses, the aides are the ones who are doing all the work. Charge nurse never available. Cannot communicate with the Dr.s and they won't call you. My mother, who is in the hospital, has not had a meal in days.. shes lucky ti have gotten 2 cups of water from the aides. Sone of the nurses are just sitting in chairs looking at their cellphones. There are rooms in emergency room but they are for people with insurance they can bill the most. All medicaid insured people are in the hall surrounding the nurses desk. Very sad. People are sitting in their own feces for hours as the aides cannot change them while they are laying on beds in the hall. Unsanitary!!!

IF YOU GET RN DIANE LEE in emergency RUN......Poor treatment by two RN'S in emergency. Diane Lee very rude talks down to you humiliated me in front of a room. Full of people because I was concerned that she was not getting the right information to care for my son. She needs to be sent back to school and learn how to treat people. The little snot nose nurse at the front desk was just as rude, unfortunately I didn't get her name and she refused to give me it as well. Go to a different hospital where your respected as a person and a patient. Again, if you get Diane Lee RN run the other way

If I could give 0 stars I would. This place is a mess. My fiancé fell and cracked his head open. He hit his head on something on the way down and had a seizure, which they did not even acknowledge on the paperwork (apparently it was a laceration instead) When we arrived there was a fight going on in the waiting room. Doctors didn’t come in for hours and hours after he was stitched up. He was in so much pain and kept asking for Tylenol and he never got it!! Meanwhile the 2 other patients in our room were given stronger drugs right away. I had to cause a scene just to get the doctor to come talk to us after 6 hours of standing there because they didn’t offer me a chair to sit. The nurses were rude and gave me attitude when they finally came in to talk to us. This is the worst hospital I’ve ever dealt with. They said all his tests were fine .. but when he went to our family doctor the tests were off. Oh and his bloody head wrap that they removed to put his staples in…. THREW IT ON THE FLOOR!!! Disgusting and horrible place. Should really be shut down.

This is, without a doubt, the absolute worst hospital I have ever experienced. Our mother was rushed here and it was miserable from moment one. The one star is for the few people who seemed to care about their jobs. Most of the staff are rude, clueless or just downright nasty. The place is not clean. They took average to awful care of my mother. We never saw the same nurse or doctor twice. Frequently, we had to remind, or even nag, the nurse to administer medication. We were in a hospice situation and there was no way we would let mom die here. They were even doing full-on construction - including asbestos abatement (!) in the hall and on her floor. It was a nightmare. Stay away from this hospital if you can.

This place is a nightmare. Don't go there....go to Stonybrook. They're unprofessional, rude and they don't have your best interest at heart. Some of the adult nurses are very good. They work hard and they keep you comfortable but in the end they have to listen to the doctors because that's their boss. The doctors are racist and they have zero respect for women being that they are foreigners and were raised that way. The last 2 times I was there they took both my clothes and shoes and never gave them back to me. When I asked for them back, they told me that couldn't find them and made me go home barefooted and wearing a hospital gown. So they took two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes from me. And they did this to me knowing I have a heart condition. They also took my pocket book, and refused to give it to me, so I couldn't use my cell phone or my eye glasses for 12 days straight. They just don't care. And I went home looking like a junkie because the young nurses always miss the veins. It was just an awful experience both times. Do not go here and if you love someone, do not bring them there. I've already decided that if I start getting chest pains again, that I refuse to call an ambulance.... I would rather just die at home.

Absolutely worst hospital in probably all of New York, like another person in the reviews said… If I was in a life threatening situation I’d risk dying to go another few miles down to Stony Brook. It’s really upsetting how horrible the public outlook/experience on this hospital has been for years with no signs of anything changing. It’s disgusting… Doesn’t even seem like they care they have a tarnished reputation because nothing has been done about it.

Absolutely horrible place. Brought my daughter in with a very bad cough and she could barely breathe and they sat there for almost 30 mins trying to take vitals. I get it’s part of the process but she’s only 2 she’s scared she doesn’t know what’s going so after me making a scene they take her straight to the back and this was after I was told where the door was and I could leave. Soon as I started asking if they were denying my daughter medical service their attitude switched up quick. By far the worst hospital I’ve ever stepped foot in. Mind you I grew up in the Bronx my whole life….. this place should be SHUT DOWN PERMANENTLY..

I went to this Hospital with my wife to be treated and it was a horrible experience. She was shivering and almost passed out and they didn’t do anything. The two people in the front desk were on their phone at all times, not giving a damn about my wife. No one came to see her or took her to a room. We ended up leaving the hospital.

My elderly parent was brought to the emergency room for pain around a preexisting hernia. The neglect in the emergency room was horrifying. By day two and a half, still in the emergency room my parent had an upper respiratory infection, with wheazing and a severe cough. A day later a severe case of pink eye also developed. My parent was supposed to be on a liquid diet by day two and a half and I was told that there was nobody who could feed my parent (who was not on an iv and too weak to hold a juice container). I could go on about drugs that were administered for anxiety which were causing side effects of hallucinations, body thrashing and screaming. It was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE!!

I am a nurse and I can honestly say I have never witnessed anything like this in my life/career. The waiting room for the ED was terrible I arrived at10:30 pm and was not seen at all. i was having severe cluster headaches and lost vision in my left eye along with dizziness & my initial blood pressure was 81/65. At 12:10am I was told there'd be at least 3+ hour wait in addition to the time I had already waited and that they couldn't guarantee I'd be seen. The RN Pamela abandoned the registration desk in triage multiple times for 30 minutes at a time meaning even new arriving patients couldn't be registered or cared for, this included a woman involved in ahead on collision. This is appalling, disgusting and a disgrace to health care. i'd never work here nor would I recommend anyone to go there. I also have recordings & audios that I plan to submit to the proper authorities in regards to unprofessional conduct, HIPAA violations, lack of professionalism, and other things you wouldn't believe. To protect the rights of individuals I will not post here but THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. The joint commission, justice center and whoever else will definitely hear from me in regards to patient safety, abuse, neglect, and overall terrible facility. It bothers me to even have to write this. I eventually wind up leaving they refused to even conduct an assessment on me. Never again such a shame.This hospital should be shut down & employees need to be terminated. Not to mention they accepted a man who arrived afterwards literally walked right through & when numerous people got upset, they slipped up and said he was a "VIP" due to him having a relationships with an employee. You can not make this stuff up. I'm happy I know how to properly report my concerns and escalate them along with keeping track of every employee I did come in contact with.

My ex works here. He assaulted me days out of my first plastic surgery. My nipples were ripped off of my body. The director of nursing is aware and he is practicing nursing in this emergency room. He told them he didn't do anything and even after being charged which contradicts his not doing anything. He is here touching all our grandmothers and daughters. This place is gross. They gave me a hard time about locking my chart even though my abuser works here. I was brought in by ambulanc.e bc this is the last place I would turn to for help. NYU ought be ashamed to call this place theirs. It's the worst hospital we have on long island.

This place is so horrible. Dont bother Coming here, I couldn’t feel any thing on my left side of my body, and my heart rate was thru the roof. They took away my stuff, when it wasn’t even in their policy. They treated me horrible, as if just because they’re doctors they’re automatically right. They didn’t even know about my symptoms, wouldn’t let me speak. On top of that, the “manager” kept telling me how it’s his rule even if it’s not in the policy and they’ll lock me up when I wasn’t doing nothing. They wouldn’t even let me call my mom, they denied me those right. And when I told them I want the cops. The “manager” got so close in my face with his hand up as if he was going to hit me, when I told the nurse what happened. She dismissed me. Even the security guards didn’t listen, they treated me badly only because I was a teen.

On Friday, I ended up in the hospital for a painful medical condition. I decided Brookhaven would be fine because I just needed some pain meds, an exam and a cat scan. Although I’ve had bad times at Brookhaven, I thought ‘well they can’t screw this up, it’s so simple’. I was there for 7 hours, I was left in two different hallways abandoned. I was forgotten about outside of a broken catscan machine. At one point I was crying and I asked a nurse to self discharge (within my rights) and she gave me the biggest attitude and did not help. I was in so much pain, and not one of my SEVERAL nurses got me pain meds, as I asked for them several times. I left that hospital with nothing but two bruised arms, due to nurses not knowing how to take blood and in more pain than ever. With advice on HOME REMEDIES.. I’m in a hospital you should not be telling me home remedies, when I am in immense pain and not even functional at this point. I left and reviewed my blood test results. My white blood cell count was extremely high, which the doctor noticed and said ‘interesting’ and didn’t give me any antibiotics. They found a 1.8 cm abscess which was causing me the pain, didn’t tell me about it and once again NO medication. I had 7 different tests within my blood that were high, and point to me having an infection. I’m better now, but PLEASE do not go to Long Island Community Hospital or Brookhaven Memorial Hospital, whatever they are calling themselves now. Only go if you are legit dying, even then I feel bad for you. NEVER AGAIN.

Dissatisfied. ED Dr Rivas did not make me feel like my mother was in good hands. I understand working in the ED is demanding but there is no excuse to make a worried family member feel invalidated. Now I understand why this hospital has a negative rate.

Where should I start? Well let’s just say the hospital is on its way out hanging on by a thread. They don’t even have pillows! Staff is rude and disrespectful. They do not put your best medical care at heart. They try to force extra medical care onto just to have you admitted for longer periods of time. Hospital appearance is poor and dirty. Medical staff is poorly trained and educated. They choose poor words to degrade you. Very unpleasant experience and thank god I’m outta there!

I'm here in the Cardiac Care unit because of the nurses in the ER saving my life. I don't want to incorporate their names into this review for confidentiality reasons. If it wasn't for their quick actions I wouldn't be here today. They immediately began CPR and administered the AED which brought me back. From that point the Cardiologist took over and opened the artery subsequently inserting a Stent. I believe they call it the Widow maker. Thank you and God bless you. 🙏

My husband had a great team of professionals take care of him. From the security, the front desk personnel the nurse Ben and the doctors Joseph and I can't remember the other doctors name they really give excellent care. I know people get impatient when they have to wait in the ER however it takes time to treat every patient that goes there. To the team in the ER thank you so much for all you do. I am thankful we have this Hospital in our area.

Brought my child to the ER but had to wait for 1 hour to until they got him in. Were several people with some major problem that were wainting for a longer period of time as well. Once you enter the ER Room they keep you waiting for a while until you finally see a doctor, if there is no major issue with the patient, as was my case they should discharge you as soon as possible to continue to provide better service to others.. If we go to the ER is because it is an emergency and patients cannot continue to wait for hours.

You can change the name and make renovations but you can't change the terrible care you receive there unfortunately. My bf went there because his Dr was affiliated with this dreadful hospital. They put him in a room with no working air conditioning. He was sweating so much on top of having to deal with his condition. He said the food was so terrible he vomited. No one seemed to know anything. They pushed him out before he was ready. Gave no pain meds even though he was on pain meds at the hospital to help him deal with his condition. Sent home. He felt like he was dying. Vomiting for two days. So much pain. Extremely high blood pressure and heart rate. He passed out in the floor and the ambulance had to get him. He was sent back to this dreadful place. They're more obsessed with covid then treating actual issues the patients are coming for. Hate to tell them but much worse conditions do exist and need to be treated. Now they're telling my bf he may have cdiff. May have? It's a yes or no. And if he has this he got it from the hospital! Update: he did test positive for cdiff (was negative last week) How do you get cdiff you may ask? As per Google: People can get infected if they touch surfaces contaminated with feces, and then touch their mouth. Healthcare workers can spread the bacteria to their patients if their hands are contaminated I do not want him going back and I don't recommend my worst enemy to go to this hospital. My ex said he almost died there because they tried to remove his gallbladder when that wasn't the issue. His wife pushed for him to be transferred to stony brook, the Dr's said that she saved his life by getting him out of there as that surgery would have killed him. It's a clown show. Go at your own risk

I called the hospital if Covid antibodies are available and was told by the emergency department that there are some criteria to get the treatment. After arriving at the hospital and spending an hour, my wife was refused treatment because she is not on chemotherapy and not autoimmune deficient. So I Called Stony Brook Hospital and was approved for the treatment. Not sure why This hospital’s criteria is different from Stonybrook hospital and NY State’s criteria? Why the emergency department tell me of their criteria before waistline my time driving to you hospital. The staff who answered my call were not professional and polite

Doctors refused to allow for MRI. I am paralyzed and fell from bed. I cannot accurately report where it hurt because of the paralysis. They covered themselves by doing an x-ray of one foot and releasing me. Want me to have a CT scan. Dangerous for someone with cancer stage four as it enhances cell mutation, MRI uses no radiation. CT scan uses radiation. Did not want to do a scan that could take two or four hour scan. Other hospitals have do it no problem. They did not do a complete evaluation of me. I am in pain. Left the EKG on me and EMT had to take it off. Never gave me results of x-ray. Just rushed me out of hospital. Dr Volpe and a DO. Patient advocate Tasha advocated for doctors. Reiterated that doctor right. Do not need to take a MRI takes too long.. CT scan quicker. Doctors told her this. Never been released from hospital so quick.Doctors acted in bad faith. EMT said they cannot take off ekg monitor. Brookhaven. How do they continually attract the worse doctors? Thank you God for getting me out of there alive. But do I have any fractures or torn ligaments from the fall? Please God watch over me. What do I do now?

I have been to this hospital through all my life and they have seen me through some weird things lol good and bad. They make me feel so comfortable going there, I make everyone laugh and they don’t judge me even at my worst, I like that they can tell when I am septic and when I can hold out, and I just have to say last night my two ER doctors Rivas & Rachel really were there for me and like I said weird things before, I have an extremely high pain tolerance and I have a bad kidney infection but I left there smiling even thru that pain and finally left with the correct antibiotic and I couldn’t be more grateful for her funny charming sarcasm and genuine bedside manner and for making me smile through it and staying calm. This place came a long way over the years.

With the exception of the nurses that checked me in, the staff was neglective. I was admitted for chest pain and forgotten for 5 hours without being checked on. Not hooked to a monitor, just ignored. I won't let an ambulance take me back here under any circumstances.

(Translated by Google) I like this hospital I hope it arrives in Peru (Original) Me gusta este hospital espero que llegue en perú

I had to go to get care and I was met with such kind and great staff! I especially want to thank Chris RN because he went above and beyond to provide me exceptional care! He’s a wonderful Nurse and made me feel so comfortable and at ease when I was not feeling well.

I had a wonderful experience last night with the staff at Long Island Hospital on Hospital Road. Everyone from the ambulance staff to the nurses and doctors, were so nice and friendly. Even staff passing by. I have not 1 complaint. They all treat you with respect, they are careful and thoughtful. I had an injury, (yes this is me staff, toothpick in the foot woman lol), and I was in and out pretty quickly. They didn't leave me laying there ignoring me, someone was always asking how I was. Or making a gross look on their face 🤣🤣🤣. My granddaughter was sent to the ER not too long ago as well and she was very happy with the staff too.

The “1” Star is for the 3- professional Nurses(Yve, Teresa, & Caroline); “1” Nurse Assistant whom I didn’t catch his name; and 1-Intake Nurse (Steven), who went above and beyond to do the best they could to help my Mom. The lack of “4” additional stars is for the worst all-around care to patients that I have ever seen in a hospital. The ER overnight shift on 8/22-8/23 was the most unprofessional, disrespectful, degrading, and loud, bunch of so-called medical staff that I have ever seen. At 4am they were using loud profanity; discussing and criticizing patients private information loudly for everyone to hear; the nurse aggressively told a patient to stop acting like a “Dick” after he had been stuck in a hallway for two days with minimal care or attention; and laughed loudly at personal stories in a group while sick/ injured patients tried to unsuccessfully rest in an already stressful situation. NYU Langone better be careful what they attach their name to before first cleaning house and re-establishing quality patient care and professionalism. I suggest traveling to Stonybrook University Hospital, or any other Emergency Care location before choosing Brookhaven/ LI Community Hospital/ NYU Langone Hospital in Patchogue, NY. Absolutely sad and disheartening. Do better.

👎👎👎 please drive the extra 15 mins and go to another hospital in the area. This hospital deserves one star only and that is for the only person worth mentioning, my RN Amanda M. She was the absolute best and truly cared in helping me. Other than that, the doctor and hospital in general was trash. I could write a really long review about my experience but it's currently being reviewed by my lawyer, so I won't! Please, go somewhere else, they don't care about you or your health here!!

My issue wasn't exactly with the service, I mean it is an emergency room, there's going to be waiting and it won't be a pleasant experience. My issue is with THEIR BILLLING!!!! We went there maybe like 3 times and each time we had to wait for a long time for someone from billing to come and gather our insurance info before we can leave and not once they got it right! They either bill the wrong insurance or don't get numbers right I don't know! I got the insurance cards. And each time I receive a hospital bill a year later for I don't even remember what. And have to clarify all the insurance information. On top of it my account number doesn't even show in their automated system. We are military, we don't even live there anymore or have the same insurance but I'm glad I updated my address with them as we would have no idea we have unpaid insurance bills from a year ago. Does anyone know how to do their job anymore? Or do I have to do their billing for them. Update: still continue to receive bills, we are stuck in a vicious circle at this point. Receive the bill, update information, receive the same bill again😒.... can I report them to somebody?

Dialysis center the nurse's and Hemotechs are the best and friendly people i know. Easy going as you are getting treatments

I went in for foot surgery recently and I had an overall a very positive experience. The nurses, staff and doctors were all very good and friendly. This was my first time having any kind of surgery done and despite not being able to have loved ones there due to covid restrictions I felt pretty at ease. I really don't think I could have asked for a better experience.

If I can give zero stars I would. Horrible experience there. Went to the emergency room, was told I had to be admitted. I didn't get a bed till the next day. Through the night, the nurses were speaking loudly, ignoring the call bell. It was a mess of a mess. Never again!

I found that it took around 4 hours to receive assistance. In a life-and-death scenario, every second counts, and the waiting period felt significantly long. On a positive note, once attended, the medical professionals were thorough and showed empathy, but the initial delay certainly diluted that experience. If you aren't in a life-threatening situation and have the patience to wait, it might not be too bad. Still, the authorities should look into speeding up their process, as emergencies don't come with a buffer time.

So my son O'd on his mental health meds and was taken by ambulance to this hospital. He was there for 5 days and nothing occurred til day 4 where they wanted to put him in 4 winds in Westchester. I said no it's too far away I need to be able to get to him. So they released him with no referral or follow up plan then called CPS saying I was negligent. Mind I got him into Mather in a matter of hours they got him admitted. Further when he was there they said I had to stay with I explained I could not be there 24/7 I have to work. I was told it wasn't a problem. They told CPS I refused. Obviously to cover themselves because they literally they me with him still having issues and no plan. I was advised by his mental health case worker they could have held him until something more reasonable came along but they just didn't.

Had a wonderful experience recently when I walked myself into the emergency room. Alton greeted me and was so kind and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. He was a true angel. When my husband arrived he welcomed him with open arms. James & Vayola were amazing nurses and came whenever we asked for help. They were kind and made me feel safe. Great experience thanks to the employees who genuinely cared and took their job seriously.

Worst hospital experience ever! My elderly father fell down and was taken there to be evaluated. He had no trauma, it took them 10 hrs to finally do a CT scan. He had suffered a stroke 1 month prior to this so he still had mental confusion. He was not fed all day long even though they were told he is diabetic, we were told he was agitated so they didn’t feed him.. he was given 2 sedatives and for a patient that gets dialysis they should know that unless dialysis is done, the body can’t get rid of them the same ways healthy body would. The next day he was in a catatonic state, not being able to talk or walk or stand up. They sent him back to the rehab center, undressed (diaper only), uncovered. He was shivering, basically unresponsive and this time 911 had to be called, was taken to Stonybrook hospital where they treated him right away and took real care of him, he started recovering in a few days. Long Island community hospital should be closed down, the state, town, authorities need to look into this and force them to achieve better standards. Many people have terrible experiences at this hospital, it needs to change.

So on sept 12 2020 I was in a cycling fundraiser and I crashed my bike and broke my collarbone I got an X-ray a cat scan and a stay in the emergency room for 6 hours my bill is 33k a cat scan was 26k! I never received a bill in the mail and was sued by the hospital I got the collectors down to 16k but someone please explain to me how a cat scan is 26k! I called their billing department which guess what? It’s off site and cannot help me with an itemized bill or be able to speak to a manager how great! I work for northwell and I know people and it doesn’t cost that much I will be calling JACO about this stay far away from this hospital

Had pneumonia and was not tested for Covid -19 . Sent home that night only to have to pick up my medications in the morning. . No I’ve fluids???? No breathing treatment ????? . Thanks but no thanks 😖

Place should be shut down unprofessional. Went for a friend took way too long to be seen by anyone and there was nobody in the er. When seen eventually was given Tylenol for life threatening issues no iv, no food, no blankets, pillows, nothing. A school nurse does more than they did. Was discharged friend got sick again in the parking lot didn't even wanna go back inside because of how terrible the experience was. Dirty hospital. Incompetent staff. Guess they spent all their money on that electronic revolving door in the entrance which coincidentally enough is how they treat their patients. Recommend going to Stony Brook, Mather or st Charles. Or just not going at all over coming here. You will leave sicker than when you walked in.

All the negative reviews are ridiculous I have been going to this hospital on and off since 1994 and I never had a bad experience like any other large hospital you have good bad staff that doesn't represent an entire hospital. It's like one nurse on a ward doesn't mean every nurse is awful I would recommend this hospital in a minute.

After a significant surgery, I was recently admitted to LI Community Hospital for 3 nights. Every person I came into contact with, from my outstanding surgeons and the surgical team, to the ICU nurses and team and step-down nurses and team, treated me with caring, decency and kindness. I was very anxious going into surgery, but cannot say enough great things about how the team at yhe hospital cared for me and put me at ease.

2 hour parking. What should I tell the doctor I have to feed the meter in the middle of my x-ray

I was there last night. I cannot be thankful enough for them. The wait was long once inside but that's okay. I was just so relieved they would help me with a painful root canal. Rachel was super kind the RN who help me was also kind. I also had an experience with another nurse but did not catch her name. My blood sugar dropped and I was sweating, dizzy and pale. I have diabetes and she rushed to help me when I was close to passing out at the nurses station(my fault as I could not eat well as a result of my root canal, she got me two orange juices and I returned to normal, thank god.) A scary experience turned good. All around a great experience.

They are now telling everybody that comes into the E.R. that they can't keep their cell phones/any of their other stuff in the E.R., and will take it from you and lock it up(I have heard of them "losing" expensive items this way and they even make you sign a contract saying that they are NOT RESPONSIBLE if any of your possessions are lost). The male nurse was also very rude and tried to kick me out and tell me to go find a bus when usually they set up a medical cab ride through my insurance. They are also completely reluctant to do anything for my blood pressure even when the first number was 176. I basically am forced to wait till I can see my pcp to get any medication. Why prevent disease with medicine if you can let the problem go critical and land them back in the hospital?

I just had a incisional Hernia repair done robotically by Dr. Shin who is with NYU Langone. Never had someone who was so caring and understanding . My 2 pre-op Nurses Marie & Barry were wonderful, kept you calm and had nice conversations with them all the while waiting for surgery. This hospital doesn't seem to have the best ratings BUT I am not rating the Hospital I am rating the staff. EXECELLENT STAFF ALL THE WAY FROM THE FRONT DESK (Brenda) to my pre-op Nurses to Dr. Shin, Mr. DaVinci, Tom and Kelly (sorry if I left anyone out) THANK YOU ALL FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!

This is, without a doubt, the absolute worst hospital I have ever experienced in visiting hospitals. The wait is very long even though its an emergency Most of the staff are rude, when you ask a question more like clueless to what's next . The place is not clean. Ask for a manager they never informed her until I became loud after 5 hours,then to be told the hospital is under new management by NYU and positive changes are coming. In a case of emergency Please go somewhere else.

Don't go to this hospital. Spend a little extra time to get to a better hospital.

So my 83 yr old father was brought to Long Island community hospital from his assisted living on September 29th 2023 due to a fall. Things escalated quickly and was told he would need immediate back surgery. My first reaction was to get him out of that hospital and have him transferred to stonybrook or Mather hospital but neuro surgeon dr Sathi told me he didn’t not think it was a wise decision to move him, So I went with his advice. Everyone I knew in the medical field had nothing good to say about the care in the hospital and made me very concerned for my fathers after care . Well let’s fast forward to 7 days after his surgery.. Dr Sathi did an amazing job , the ICU staff at Long Island community hospital was absolutely amazing. And now my dad is on floor 3 and I have to say the PAs and nursing staff have been incredible!! Brookhaven hospital has had terrible reviews for years but I think since Long Island Community has takin over they are wonderful.. I am glad we kept him here and will spread the good word throughout our community. The staff here deserves to be recognized. Thank you to all the staff Sincerely , Dawn Bromberger

They give out Opioids like candy! STAY AWAY THEY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED!

It's very sad for the few good nurses and doctors that work here. You know who you are. For the rest of you who abused and neglected my dad, you also know who you are. My dad went in with two small bedsores AND LEFT WITH 26. You can do the math and simply drive to another hospital . I'd take anything other than this torture center. And as for the "social workers" well you know what you didn't do. Have a great day!

Went to this hospital for emergency services and they quickly put me in a bed and proceeded to test my symptoms. When they discovered that my symptoms required testing they could not provide they had an ambulance transport me to StonyBrook hospital where they took care of the additional testing required.

This was my wife's first time here. The ambulance came very quickly the staff at the emergency room entrance were very helpful. My wife was seen almost right away and was taken care of . I can't say about others but our experience was very pleasing. We moved out here from queens, its quite a bit of wait there.

Went to ER for severe abdominal pain. Got me right into a room. My care was fine. Though it’s obvious the nurses are spread very thin. My doctor was knowledgeable and lovely. She explained everything to me including 2 cat scans. Room was clean as well as bathroom. Much better than Stonybrook Hospital which is absolutely HORRENDOUS. (Don’t let the name of the town fool you.) My father was treated HORRIBLY there. The doctors there need to get together and get their stories straight. AWFUL, INCOMPETENT, DISGUSTING people including the nurses. A bunch of know-it-all doctors who literally know nothing about kindness and compassion and treat patients as subhumans. I would go to Long Island Community Hospital any day over that vile hospital. I only subtracted a star here because I was there for 8 hours. However, my doctor was very thorough and ran every test under the sun for me. I felt I was in good hands. I might be in the minority after reading other reviews, but I would definitely go back to Long Island Community Hospital in the future without reservation.

It seemed like the changes from Brookhaven were great at first, but they are still a mess. Right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing. My mother came out of surgery with almost no post op care. No pain meds, no catheter, no phone call to the family that she can be seen. ER staff was great except for one RN who was a mess and overshot the vein and caused swelling and boils on the skin. I have to say that the day shift seems a lot better than the night.

With the exception of a few, they are really lacking in service. They didn’t even give me a wheelchair. I could barely stand up. And then at the end of my stay, they wanted to put a gown on me! a little too late! 25 years ago they upped their game, but I think it’s time they up it again! because they’re really lacking in good caring in the emergency room

They got you covered! I went in as an Emergency Surgery Patient and with no delays the Operating Room was available in least then 12 Hours. The Doctors and Nurses were just wonderful! Don't believe the hype when it comes to saying that Stony Brook has them beat, for if it wasn't for the proper care and the proper use of the Radiology Machines my Diagnosis would of gone unnotice thanks to Stony Brook Hospital which says they know it all. I also notice that Long Island Community Hospital has a Level III Trauma Unit and now with it's own Heleport for serious Traumas. Think twice before saying this Hospital has nothing to offer for I believe they are called "SPIES" from Stony Brook Hospital. Judge it for yourself! Thank You Long Island Community Hospital for the taking care of me with the proper care. And don't forget the Ambulette Service that the Hospital provides if your Insurance pays for it, they also find their way to take you back home if you don't have a ride or even if you want to leave to go home. So there you have it. My Finalist would be The Long Island Community Hospital for Excellent Service. (mt)

The 2 Star Rating left by people must be the ones who find the negative in everything! My pre-op intake and discharge by Diane, Barry, Kathleen & Louise was a most memorable experience! Such pleasant people who were most attentive to my well being! The Anesthesiologist, I'm embarrassed I forgot her name, but was also a very kind person and thouro! And then there's Dr. Joseph Zehentner, a fine young polished surgeon. Who brings with him this infectious smile 😃, how could you not know your in good hands! Thanks Dr. Z, I am pain free 24 hours later! AF

This place is bad. Omg plz check on your people while they are here. My oxygen ran out while I was asleep and they ignored my buzzer over my door. I'm a cancer patient of memorial sloan kettering and I've never experienced such non Chalant and non caring hospital ever. They have very bad attitudes and for no reason. I'm praying I make it thru the night in this place until my family comes for me. They will ignore that light over your door.

Went for an angiogram, catheter went through my groin, was told by the surgeon I would be sedated enough that it would almost be like I was sleeping. I FELT EVERYTHING, watched the whole thing on the monitor, I know I was awake because I kept saying that hurts, should I feel that and I was in tears, dr kept telling someone to give me something, found out I was pumped full of fentanyl. Also as a diabetic I was concerned with how long I had to go without food, was also told I would have a glucose drip, when they drew my blood that morning my a1c was 6.4, when I went for pre surgical testing the next day my a1c was an 8!!! Let me get to recovery where I had to spend 4 hrs flat on my back, I was still in tears when I got up there, as someone with a bad back I was not only in excruciating pain from the procedure but my back was killing me, but yet I couldn’t be given anything for the pain, instead the nurse wanted to give me anxiety meds, I laid there crying with the pillow over my face, neither nurse showed concern but when the 1 nurse came over for something I said maybe I should just put the pillow back over my face and die, she then said maybe I need a psych consult, so because of the pain I was in I punched the bed, she put in her notes I was agitated, was I supposed to be doing a happy dance? Should I have punched her or tossed whatever medical stuff around instead of the bed? When I asked her why they just sat at the desk while I laid there with the pillow over my face I was told because I was breathing. I am also autistic as well and I get very fidgety and have sensory issues, I did ask if the BP cuff could come off, was told no, I then looked at my left arm and noticed I had no IV (bag was empty) asked if that could come out, was told no, that stays in, I said but it’s not connected to anything? She claims I refused any meds, why would I do that? I refused anxiety meds because I wasn’t anxious, I was in pain. 2 hours pass, still in tears, ask if I can go to the bathroom, told no, I asked if I was supposed to pee in the bed and lay in urine soaked sheets? She said no, I can use a bedpan, now how would that work if I can’t move, she said we would roll you over, you can roll me over to use a bedpan but you can’t kind of shift me to help alleviate my back pain that you refuse to give me meds for? Finally she gives me a pill, Norco, never heard of it, she gives me a sip of water through a straw, because I’m laying down I nearly choked on this horse pill on an empty stomach, do you know how nauseous I was? And yes, a UTI to boot because I wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom. Yes, I did take that hot sweaty annoying rubber off of my finger, again sensory overload. When I finally got crackers I couldn’t drink anything because I was laying down, I spilled water out of my water bottle on me, so when I asked for a cup with a straw I was told it’s right there and pointed to the table with the computer on it, but it was to far for me to reach over, remember, can’t move. I finally had relief from my back pain when I was raised 30 degrees, still no water, crackers were gone, still no IV. So I was dehydrated, no pain meds till it was almost time for me to leave, no water to have with the crackers, UTI because I wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom. Also in her notes she claimed I was verbally abusive and cursed all the nurses. I was not verbally abusive, I was in pain, and I don’t curse so I definitely did not curse out the 2 nurses. Agitated, yes, I was in pain. This is one hospital I will never use again, I only came to this unknown hospital because the vascular surgeon I saw is affiliated with it and time was of the essence. I really think they should teach how to deal with autistic people in doctor and nurse school. When I went back to where I started that morning, all I wanted to do was use the bathroom, I finally did, when it was time for me to get dressed to leave 3 nurses standing around me waiting to help me like I was an invalid and the curtains were still open. I refused a wheelchair because I wanted to walk.

Came here this morning in serious pain in my ear, neck, and shoulder. Dr. saw me right away and helped me. Since it’s a weekend and most doctors are not open and City Md turned people away with over three hour waiting time. I’m deeply appreciative of the help I received today. The doctor was nice too!

I was an EMT riding an ambulance for the fire department and delivering patients. I found that all were well cared for and feeling satisfied with their attention. The hospital takes an interest in all members of the community. I, and several family members have been patients there in the past and recently, and have received good care. I have been in a number of hospitals for operations and procedures, and think I can make a correct evaluation.

I showed up by ambulance for a kidney stone & was found to also have appendicitis so I needed emergency surgery. Every member of the staff, from the triage nurse, to every single employee in the ER, to the OR, and the unit involved in my after care, were top notch. This place has always gotten a bad rep. I've been in, and visited, some of the top hospitals in the northeast so I have a lot of experience with hospitals. I am very happy I chose LICH for my emergency. They may have saved my life. They would've gotten 5 stars but I did have a fairly long wait for things at times, but as far as staff & medical care goes they're a great local choice, so the wait time became irrelevant compared to the care.

I don’t understand the low rating this hospital seems to be getting, my personal experience with the 2 stays I’ve had there was quite positive. Very friendly nurse staff, everything seemed to go pretty smoothly. Really no complaints.

Brookhaven? ROBLOX REFRENCE!

I was rushed to this hospital after sustaining a traumatic injury while on the job. I had anticipated going to Stony Brook, but my boss insisted that I go there. before he suggested this hospital, I didn't even know that it existed. when arriving it was obvious that it is a run-down antiquated facility that should have been condemned not merged with a big outfit. continuing on while there the staff starting from security to the person who performed discharge and everyone in between were completely unprofessional and treated their patients as if they were prisoners. talking to them with a very condescending attitude as if we were troubling them. while it is their job. According to what I stated what happened to what was put in the medical report was the opposite. which also contradicts what that doctor indicated cause my vitals that were submitted were extremely high and any honorable doctor would agree that vitals that high would require medical attention immediately. after being there for four hours a CAT scan was done they did a flush of the deep tissue laceration down to the bone. Had a student pa perform the procedure who did know what she was doing, but she kept reopening the wound. I already had lost a couple of ounces of blood. every time she had to redo stitches more blood came pouring out. They didn't numb the area enough cause I felt every inner stitch on all three layers and staples. After closing up the wound they did not bandage the area. any good medical institution that follows good medical practices would do so. all my current doctors agreed. They only focused on this and didn't address any other areas I had made complaints about in triage. When I was discharged from the hospital again no bandage on the wound. i had to be rushed back to the hospital several hours later due to the area not being bandaged. it blew up like a balloon stitches opened hence started bleeding. When I arrived back at the hospital I was able to see the same Pa who initially worked on me and applied pressure to make the swelling subside then again sent me on my way.. What disturbs me the most because my boss is in cahoots with staff within the hospital to cover all of their mistakes they have falsified medical reports to reflect nothing even remotely close to what was said, what transpired while being seen, and nothing being done while visiting this institute. this monstrosity of infested unethical medical malpractice and neglecting proper protocols violated me and every other patient who is subject to being exposed to these conditions. I have a tremendous amount of respect for individuals who work in any aspect of the medical field who withhold their oath and who do their due diligence with some sort of moral compass. I am simply writing this review to bring back the greater good to humankind awareness. The four pillars of medical ethics: Autonomy – respect for the patient's right to self-determination. Beneficence – the duty to 'do good' Non-Maleficence – the duty to 'not do bad' Justice – to treat all people equally and equitably. Ps i would give them zero stars
